NEW YORK — Toyota held on to its status as the world’s top-selling automaker in the first
quarter of this year, although the race with General Motors and Volkswagen was tight, as Toyota
sales fell in China and Japan.

Toyota Motor Corp. reported yesterday that it sold 2.43 million vehicles during the
January-March period, outpacing U.S.-based GM at 2.36 million and Germany’s Volkswagen at 2.27
million.
